The Ascension Offering Hymn at church today....beautiful!

Wondrous King, all glorious, sovreign Lord victorious, oh receive our praise with favor! From thee welled God's kindness tho' we in our blindness strayed from thee, our blessed Savior. Strengthen thou, help us now; let our tongues be singing, thee our praises bringing.

Heavens, spread the story of our Maker's glory, all the pomp of earth obscuring. Sun, thy rays be sending, thy bright beams expending, light to all the earth assuring. Moon and star, praise afar him who glorious made you; the vast heavens aid you.

O my soul, rejoicing, sing thy praises voicing, sin with hymns of faith adore him! All who here have being, shout, your voices freeing, bow down in the dust before him. He is God Sabaoth; praise alone the Savior, here and there forever.

Hallelujahs render to the Lord most tender, ye who know and love the Savior. Hallelujahs sing ye, ye redeemed, oh, bring ye hearts that yield him glad behavior. Blest are ye endlessly; sinless there forever, ye shall laud him ever.

AAPS on Healthcare Summit

So what would be the effect of proposed federal insurance rules? Obama said premiums would go down; Alexander said they would go up. The CBO weighed in with a 28-page analysis. The answer seems to be: “It depends.” Large group plans, small group plans, nongroup plans? Income level (i.e. subsidy level)? “Bare-bones plan” (probably to be outlawed), “Cadillac plan (prepare to be taxed), or just-right plan?

One of the unbridgeable gaps appears to be abortion funding. Nancy Pelosi claims the new Plan doesn’t cover abortion, but Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) and others claim that it does. Layers of accounting gimmicks mean that everyone will be paying a monthly abortion premium.

Before the reconciliation process can be use to bypass a filibuster, the House has to pass a bill acceptable to the Senate. Abortion coverage may be the factor that defeats that maneuver. The key vote may then be not Scott Brown’s but Democrats who supported the Stupak Amendment in the House.

Goodman concludes that none of the speakers at the summit have any idea how to control costs, improve quality, or ensure acceess to care. The Republicans’ blank sheet of paper idea is the best one we have heard.

Phyllis Schlafly: No Women, Sarah Palin Included, Ready for White House

O Lord, throughout these forty days you prayed and kept the fast;

Inspire repentance for our sin, and free us from our past.

You strove with Satan and you won; Your faithfulness endured;

Lend us your nerve, your skill and trust in God's eternal Word.

Though parched and hungry, yet you prayed and fixed your mind above;

So teach us to deny ourselves since we have known God's love

Be with us through this season, Lord, and all our earthly days,

that when the final Easter dawns, we join in heaven's praise.
